[Verse 1]
C          G
You sat at home
G
The windows tinted black
C          G
It hit you hard
G
And you cried so long
C               G
Life turned and wandered
                     C
Never to come back, again
C
Take what she gives you
                 D
Don't feel sorry for her


[Verse 2]
C             G
When you fell out
G
Out of the Starlight Inn
         C           G
You were too hurt to walk
G
Too bad to begin
C               G
I looked at the sign
G                           C
But I couldn't feel sad for you
C
Take what she gives you
                    D
Don't cry, when you kiss her


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Poor little girl
D
Ran away for good
Em
I try to explain
    D
Why she won't say a thing
G
Sad, sad thing
D
I'm so far away now
Em
How can I say
    D
Why she won't talk at all


[Chorus]
    G
She holds a deck of cards
    D
She wants to be alone
G                      D
I've been very ill and I've tried waking up
       G            D   C D G
Now, I want to be alone


[Verse 3]
C            G
When you ran out
G                   
Out of Pete's Hotel
    C              G                   
You didn't look so good
G                           
And you didn't feel so well
           C       G              
You said, "Hold me tight"
                      C                          
But I couldn't get it right
C                       
Take what she gives you
                 D       
Don't feel sorry for her
               

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Poor little girl
D
Ran away for good
Em
I try to explain
    D
Why she won't say a thing
G
Sad, sad thing
D
I'm so far away now
Em
How can I say
    D
Why she won't talk at all


[Out-Chorus]
    G
She holds a deck of cards
    D
She wants to be alone
    G                            
She still drinks in the dark
    D                      
The radio is left on late
    G                 
She saw a madman fight
    D            
And break it all
D                       
'Cause he hated himself
    G                   
And she felt better off
       D                  C D G   C G                  
'Cause she was only drunk
